OCTOBER: MONTH OF PRAYER AND FASTING FOR MARRIAGE AND THE FAMILY

Each week of this month will have a particular intention for prayer and fasting. A video and information may be found by following this link:

This is the intention for this week: Today and throughout this week we pray for all marriages and families in Australia. Heavenly Father, grant that our families may be places of communion and prayer, authentic schools of the Gospel and small domestic Churches. Make us ever more mindful of the sacredness and beauty of the family in God's plan.
